What you see here is all there is of this very small clearing in the middle of a large, dense cedar swamp. The surrounding tree canopy is heavy and, except for these small clearings, light does not penetrate to the forest floor. Thus, nothing grows in the cedar swamp except moss and mushrooms.
The Primos Truth Cam 35 wildlife camera activates by a combination of body heat and movement. Movement could come from the wind blowing on a tree and I suppose that it's possible that it might at times be activated by the heat of the sun, particularly if there were a sudden break in the clouds.
I don't see an animal in this photograph. However, it is also true that I wouldn't necessarily be able to see an animal if it was here. Anything smaller than a moose could probably cross this small clearing undected by human eyes, since the saplings here are pretty high.
Looking straight ahead, in the low center part of the screen, I would like to think that there could be a hint of what might be an animal, with the coloring of a moose, but it is nowhere near to being clear enough to identify it as such.
I was walking in the woods of Maine with my nephew once when we came upon a very large bull moose. It was very close to us, and was coming toward us rather than walking away. I took several photographs of the animal, which both my nephew and I could see quite clearly with our naked eyes. Yet when I viewed the photographs later, there wasn't a single one in which the moose could be clearly identified. Had I not been there, and knew that the moose was there, I don't think I would have believed there to be moose in any of those pictures.
Maybe a moose is on the edge of the tree line, on the other side of this small clearing, but it's just as likely that it's something else, or nothing.
